Politics Daily:

The Big Dog is back. To the triumphant strains of John Williams, former president Bill Clinton took to the stage to open the 2010 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting in New York on Tuesday morning. In the audience of 1,300 were 67 heads of state from 90 countries and six continents, 600 business leaders, and over 500 representatives from international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) -- as well as a fair share of celebrities, political minds and policy wonks.

You can read all about the kinds of things discussed at these meetings of elite in a book titled, The Shock Doctrine, The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, by Naomi Klein. Oh, they like to plan alright.

It is rarely justified for putting the words "highroller" and "brains" both into the same sentence.

Microsoft ? Google? Proctor and Gamble ? Are these not the representatives of the large mega-corporations that are ruining America.
The dearth of the middle class?
The evil ones haunting the liberals to the point of insanity ?
Looks like liberals love big buisness as long as they are on the money side. Wonder what the buy in is?

Hilary Clinton committed $50 million towards clean cook stoves? I presume she is so generously giving her own money. What a gal!

It is abusive for Hilary to contribute her own money to save the poor? Ok....

He is back! And I hope the WH will use him in the upcoming month to remind moderate conservatives that there is a party out there that is still listening to them, and that if T-party extremists are not your cup, the Democratic Party and the President are there and they are listening to their concerns and working for consensus and compromise between all Americans.

Well stated. Fanned and Faved.

If anyone saw Clinton on David Letterman Monday night, you saw someone with terrific ideas about how to stimulate the economy and grow jobs and put people to work via green energy. Great ideas!

Sweat shpos for us all...He always loved Haiti s work ethic. Green jobs I don't believe a word he says because he is ineffective. He helped take our manufacturing jobs away.
